Fermat Number Transform Based Chromatic Dispersion Compensation and Adaptive Equalization Algorithm

By introducing the Fermat number transform into chromatic dispersion compensation and adaptive equalization, the computational complexity has been reduced by 68% compared with the con?ventional implementation. Experimental results validate its transmission performance with only 0.8 dB receiver sensitivity penalty in a 75 km-40 GBaud-PDM-16QAM system.

FrFT based estimation of linear and nonlinear impairments using Vision Transformer

To comprehensively assess optical fiber communication system conditions, it is essential to implement joint estimation of the following four critical impairments: nonlinear signal-to-noise ratio (SNRNL), optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), chromatic dispersion (CD) and differential group delay (DGD). However, current studies only achieve identifying a limited number of impairments within a narrow range, due to limitations in network capabilities and lack of unified representation of impairments. To address these challenges, we adopt time-frequency signal processing based on fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) to achieve the unified representation of impairments, while employing a Transformer based neural networks (NN) to break through network performance limitations. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method, the numerical simulation is carried on a 5-channel polarization-division-multiplexed quadrature phase shift keying (PDM-QPSK) long haul optical transmission system with the symbol rate of 50 GBaud per channel, the mean absolute error (MAE) for SNRNL, OSNR, CD, and DGD estimation is 0.091 dB, 0.058 dB, 117 ps/nm, and 0.38 ps, and the monitoring window ranges from 0~20 dB, 10~30 dB, 0~51000 ps/nm, and 0~100 ps, respectively. Our proposed method achieves accurate estimation of linear and nonlinear impairments over a broad range, representing a significant advancement in the field of optical performance monitoring (OPM).
